Boy Scouts Vote To Allow Openly Gay Members

(Grapevine, TX) -- The Boy Scouts of America will allow openly gay youth members. The organization released a statement saying it will not sacrifice its mission or the youth it serves by being consumed by a "derisive, unresolved societal issue." The decision was made in a vote today near Dallas where more than one-thousand delegates gathered from across the U.S. The statement said while people may have different views on homosexuality, everyone can agree that kids are better off when they are scouting.
